Claire Fenby-Warren | The history behind Bridgerton Season Two ποΈπ 18th Century gossip & news culture | Claire Fenby @Claire_Fenby | Uploaded February 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Like so many other period drama (and Jane Austen) geeks I binge watched Bridgerton and now I'm here to nerd out about the long Eighteenth-Century*, print culture & scandal - the real life history of the hit regency romance ποΈβ
I had a lot of fun revisiting my old 18th Century MA reading list and university research to make this vlog/video essay so I really hope you find it interesting.
